This tiny bug almost RUINED my precision platformer | Devlog 2 

haha thank you that's my voice xD

Thank you! shout out to dani-maccari.itch.io/ for the character art

I didn’t even know about that 😂

@@samyam I used to use game maker just past when YoYo Games took it over. It lost its luster for me after the studio versions. It's just a matter of writing if thing is within range of player, then flag a collision. I believe there's a function called distance_to(), or you could write col_radius = sqrt((self.x - objThing.x)^2 + (self.y - objThing.y)^2)) where col_radius is a variable you calculate constantly in the step event of your player object, and build from there. Alternatively, trigonometry can go a long way, too!

Thank you 😁

Thank you I really appreciate it 😄!

It’s not as noticeable in game, but I’ll look into that thank you

😎

Thank you, you got this!

either engine will need a lot of tweaking for platformers eitherway

That’s what I ended up doing but with raycasts

thank you! there are a lot of learn coding apps on ipad to help get you started! you can search “learn coding” or “learn coding kids” which has more visuals on the app store

@@samyam tysm

It's not accurate enough, I need to know at almost every corner what the player is colliding against to adjust against the slopes/angles and wall jump / slide etc

Thank you. I am updating the art a bit now making it more coherent and aligned, but the mood will stay the same - going for a doodle vibe. What parts of it doesn’t seem professional/coherent?

@@samyam i like the doodle vibe, it gives Bumbi its identity & makes it unique.

Obviously you need to hire an artist with a degree in professional doodling 😆 just kidding

​ @samyam whoops sorry i didn't see that you replied I guess I meant consistent rather than coherent looking at Fancy Pants Adventure (specifically world 2), even if the art is literally just stick figures and Flash drawings, all of the levels feel grounded in the same world, while still being distinct enough from one another to provide visual interest. when I was watching this it just felt distracting that the player was low res pixel art, the background was a very clean looking tile, the spikes and ground have really thick lines, and the portals have a super sketchy and wobbly animation obviously none of these things are bad on their own, (pixel art can look really good and I personally really like how the portals look), but they all kind of clash to make it look really chaotic. there is no one rule for how to do game art, but my advice is to just lean really hard into one style. If you want it to look super chaotic and interesting, go all the way (for example: cruelty squad or any Basquiat painting). If you want it to look like some random doodles in a school notebook, draw loosely and quickly with a limited color palette. anyways i'm just a random internet person with no idea of what your plans are for this game, so take all of this with a pretty hefty grain of salt plus, the visuals are meant to enhance and complement an already good game, so don't put a huge amount of effort on visuals for now. I only commented about it since art is one of the only things I'm knowledgeable enough in to give feedback for i fully trust whatever you believe is right for the game so just do whatever. this is my opinion. ❤

Thank you!@@moonsliced Yes, I am changing the character right now and am making the world seem more put together. Appreciate the advice

stop talking about gd everywhere.

@@sleepynet13 Why not, and how does it offend you that I talk about Geometry Dash?

hola
